One thing these factors have in common is that they help keep grizzlies away from people, who have been the primary cause of the species' decline."

And one approach to dealing with this is making it impossible for people to live, work or play in areas the EcoNazzis want as Grizzly "habitat." Thus, we "relocate" people out of the area - one way or another. Of course, local human residents don't get to vote on this, because it's all based on "science," don't you see? Surely you understand -NOT!

The report seems to indicate that the protected status of grizzlies allows them to live in areas with higher population densities than optimum; i.e., you can't shoot a nuisance grizzly unless he/she is really a nuisance. The wildlife service will attempt to relocate the animals first. However, grizzlies are smart enough to know where food is plentiful and easy to get -- if people don't take care with their food sources, they can make grizzlies into a nuisance in a hurry. So while some number of people can co-exist with grizzlies, the people have to realize that they need to control some factors that would lead to higher grizzly-human interaction. It can be as simple as proper (and prompt) disposal of garbage.
